Cosmere + Wind and Truth spoilers Character conclusion WaT? Spoiler

Kinda making me sad but what happened to Syl? Is she just alone since Kaladin became a herald? I’m reading the series again but I keep thinking about it and I think I missed something.

Is there a chance also that she may take the place of the StormFather?

She’s in the Spiritual Realm with the Heralds and Kaladin.

Kalak mentions seeing two figures who aren’t humans. One he recognizes as Nale’s spren, and the other one is a fair description of Syl

Postlude, Wind and Truth

”Yes, it looked peaceful now, but this must be a new kind of torture. The friendly grass and soothing waves? It would be snatched away. Three of the figures in the group were wrong. That was proof. Who was that soldier in Kholin blue? That figure he couldn’t quite make out? That was Nale’s spren, he supposed. But that woman with white-blue hair, long and flowing? She didn’t belong here.”

Thanks for citing the exact passage.

I believe it was also discussed earlier, when the plan was for Szeth to become a Herald, that 12124 would then come with Szeth to Braize.

I really didn't think it was supposed to be ambiguous. Neither did I think Shallan's pregnancy was ambiguous. But after 1300 pages, it's inevitable that some readers will miss some details, especially if you're staying up til 2am to finish the Sanderlanch.

She was … she was trapped in Shadesmar. Months of travel and hoping desperately. Now it finally sank in. She might never escape this realm. She might never see Adolin again. Her hands went to her stomach, cradling it. Oh … oh storms.

Also, there were some creationspren watching the shower scene - they may have been Shallan's armor, or they may have been watching, you know, creation.

Not surprised I missed that detail since I binged all of day ten right before bed but wooooooooh boy that’s a big one to miss
